Raw Justice (1994)

Very Cool!!!

An action-packed slog

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

**SPOILERS*** Muddled big city crime drama involving this former New Orleans cop now turned bounty hunter Mace, David Keith, getting involved in finding the city Mayor's David Stites, Charles Napler, daughter Donna's, April Bogenschultz, murderer.As things turn out the #1 suspect is Donna's date the night that she was killed Mitch McCullum, Robert Hayes. Mitch was anything but the man of Donna's dreams who gave him the send off without as much as a good-by in what a dud he was with her. It's later that evening as she was taking a shower that this guy Bennett, Ted Prior, snuck into her apartment and ended up strangling her. we soon find out that Bennett was working for Mayor Stites' deputy Bob Jenkins, Stacey Keach, who's looking to blackmail the mayor by planting, in a tell all book that Donna's was in the process of writing, the false story that he molested Donna when she was a little girl and end up getting his job by forcing Stites to resign from office.In covering his tracks in Donna's murder Jenkins later guns down Bennett as he comes to get his payment for offing her leaving no one to implicate him in her murder. It's when Mace starts to suspect that Donna's murder was political not a random act of violence that Jenkins gets hold of members of the New Orleans police department to knock both Mace as well as McCullum off to keep them from bringing the truth out. We get the heat turned on at least an extra 20 degrees in the movie with the appearance of the 36-24-35 Sarah played by the sexy "Baywatch" lifeguard Pamela Anderson. It was Sarah while turning tricks who lost her working clothes, to Mace no less, and has been trying to track them down ever since. This combination of bounty hunter pasty and dizzy blond in the end puts an end to Bob Jenkins' attempt to not only grab the keys to the city in becoming its next mayor but later to become the states's governor!With all three-Mace Mitch & Sarah- now a threat to Jenkins' future political ambitions he gets his paid off stooges in the New Orleans Police Department as well as a number of local hoods to try to both arrest and gun them down in their being responsible in poor Donna Stites death. Jenkins also has bail bondsman Bernie, Bernard Hocks, get his head bashed in with a baseball bat in order to keep his mouth shut about what he knows about Donna Stites murder. **SPOILERS*** In the end Mayor Stites in a news conference staged by Jenkins to announce his resigning as mayor instead lets the cat out of the bag, on live TV, in the fact that it was Jenkins , not Hayes or even Mace, who murdered his daughter! The films exciting ending sequence has the now exposed killer and blackmailer Bob Jenkins try to make his escape to an unnamed Caribbean or South American banana republic, where he would feel quite at home in, by holding Mayor Stites as a hostage. What turns out to be Jenkins biggest problem is not the police FBI or SWAT team that's hot on his tail but the person, the helicopter pilot, who's to fly him out of the country!Lots of action with an explosive pre 9/11 air crash into a high rise office building and actor David Keith doing a pretty good hot headed Sonny Corleone "Godfather" number, while dressed in drag as a hooker, on one of those bail jumpers he's out to bring in. By far the best reason to see the movie is the hot as a pistole Pamela Anderson, as Sarah, getting it on with Mace in a deserted alley that came very very close to getting the movie an X rating!

Would've loved to be David Keith for this movie. After Pam and he get chased by the baddies they hid out beside a shed. They decided to make a bit of love to pass the time. Soon enough Pam has her top over her head and Keith has his face on her breasts. He licks his way down to her ass. He takes off her short skirt and licks her some more. Then he gets up and does her from behind. Fantastic scene even if the rest of the movie isn't up to much. There's another scene at the end where Pam and the other fella do a bit of riding. Not as good as the first bit but still enjoyable. No doubt Pam makes the movie as good as it is. Must say though that the first scene is one of the best sex scenes i've ever seen.

Once you have witnessed the scene where Pamela (as a hooker??? how cheesy is that... at least the director knows why we are watching this crap...) gets the job done, you have no more reason to keep watching this atrocity... I put a 3/10 but for a girl or anyone who thinks Pam is ugly, this movie is not even worth that...

Oh yeah, what a movie! Really great B-action, with characters typically in their shoes, the great shoes of funny actionners. Keith is a perfect melt between the Angel Heart's Mickey Rourke and The Last Boy Scout's Willis. Pamela Anderson is not as well as in Barb Wire but... who cares ? She's just beautiful, and that's what count. See it, with a smile on your face.
